Amy Winehouse Let Go With A Warning, Just To Rush Back Into The Arms Of Her New Man - Page 2
Look, I like Amy as much as the next person, but I also realize that no man is going to help Amy. If Amy wants to be drug-free and clean, then Amy has to make that decision for herself. Yes, having supportive people around you does help (isn't that what one's family is supposed to do?), but ultimately you have to make the decision to be clean because you want to be clean...just like you made the decision to take drugs in the first place. I've no doubt Blake was a negative influence on Amy, but she's the one who made the decision.
Oh well. It's always been Amy's dad who has had to step forward and take charge. He may have made mistakes in his life, but at least he has made attempts to help her (and I hope he is doing so now behind the scenes). Her mom has usually sat in the background, wringing her hands and making pithy statements while Mitch has stepped in and done something:
Little wonder her father, Mitch, who remains devoted to his daughter but increasingly frustrated, is said to be "at the end of his tether".Together with some of her older, loyal friends, and Amy's record company, Island Records, he is even considering mounting another drastic intervention and forcing Amy to rehab - or more pertinently back to rehab, as she has already been there on a number of occasions.
And what about, oh, I don't know...this little thing called a marriage? Couldn't these two knuckleheads at least make an attempt at a divorce before they start picking up replacements? And when's she getting that "Blake's" tattoo removed from her chest? One more thing...you gotta wonder what it is about this guy. Why take up with Amy now, if he's so clean-cut? Maybe he's been assigned as her minder.
It's pretty sad when the voice of reason in all this turns out to come from none other than Keith Richards, himself no stranger to the vices of drugs and alcohol:
Perhaps the best advice comes from a hell-raiser of a much older vintage, Rolling Stone Keith Richards, who has expressed concern for her future.Â"She isn't going to be around long unless she sorts herself out pretty quick," he has remarked. "She needs to get smart."
